edebug32 is part of DJGPP and is therefore free.  The sources are in 
v2/djlsr201.zip at the same place where you got the rest of DJGPP.

Huh?  Why would you say a thing like that?  What about unassemble, stepi, 
nexti and the rest of assembly-oriented commands in gdb?  Did you try 
something and it didn't work?  If so, please tell what went wrong, and 
somebody will help you.

Did you try fsdb?  It also comes with DJGPP (should be in your bin 
subdirectory already), and is an assembly-oriented full-screen
debugger which present a user interface modelled after Turbo debugger.

The DJGPP FAQ list (available as v2/faq210b.zip from the usual DJGPP 
archives) includes chapter 12 that is devoted to debugging, and in 
particular, it lists the available denuggers.  You might consider reading 
that chapter.
